Lu Zhiyu met Nicholas Debye in one of the offices on the top floor. He had taken care of himself very well. With the help of the special field from the black palm, although he was already past 50 years of age, he could still pass as little over 20 years old. Should this continue, Lu Zhiyu believed that he could live up to the age of 130, and even 140.
However, no matter how youthful one looked, the body would not function so well, as one aged. No matter how healthy one was, he would not outlive the lifespan of man, nor would he have the vitality and energy of a young person.
Nicholas Debye sat on a chair beside the window and said to Lu Zhiyu, “Mr. Anthony, please take a seat.”
Lu Zhiyu sat opposite Nicholas, facing the window. He could see the street. This is the tallest building in London, and as one looked down, all the tall buildings appeared small. Men and vehicles looked like ants crawling on the street.
“When a man possesses wealth, status, and women, he will need to reach even a higher level in order to fulfill his spiritual needs. Is Mr. Anthony happy with the event?”
Lu Zhiyu found Nicholas interesting. He said, “Is that why you have used the palm of silicon-based life to set up Vatican Clan?”
Nicholas was stunned for a while, then laughed loudly. “You have found out! There’s nothing bad about it. I have fun, and everyone has benefited. All of us get what we want. This is a party for the blood race.”
“That was indeed Cain’s Left-hand. A few hundred years ago, when it was being found, that was what people called it. It can be called the claws of Satan, or the devil’s hand. You can call it anything. Cain was indeed the legendary silicon-based life!”
After Lu Zhiyu had finished talking, Nicholas Debye looked at him curiously and said, “Who are you, Mr. Anthony? Where do you come from? Are you Mu Tao, Zhang Xing, or Lu Chen?”
Nicholas had run a background check on Lu Zhiyu. According to the information received from his network, as long as a person existed in this world, he would leave behind some traces. However, this man, known as Anthony, had left no traces behind. The identities that he had used were real, but they did not belong to him. Nicholas had, based on his looks, height, and data, run a check on Lu Zhiyu, but he could not find anything.
This man seemed to have appeared from out of nowhere. Nicholas found Lu Zhiyu to be extremely mysterious. He seemed to be related to the mysterious force that Nicholas had shown interest in ever since his youth.
Lu Zhuyi found Nicholas to be amusing. Nicholas had linked him with the werewolf vampires in the Western world. Instead of explaining, Lu Zhiyu imitated Charlie Andrew and said, “Would you like to see a different kind of world?”
Nicholas was taken aback. Lu Zhiyu smiled mysteriously and flicked his fingers. Immediately, he and Nicholas disappeared together, along with the chairs that they were sitting on, and appeared at the pyramid in Egypt. When Lu Zhiyu had toured around the world, he had left behind a tactical deployment circle to the dimensional door.
Nicholas seemed to be in a trance. He saw that the world had changed. As he looked at his surroundings, he felt weak. He tried to stand up, but he felt a bit wobbly on his legs. He looked shocked and said, “How can this be? This is an illusion. This must be an illusion, right?”
Lu Zhiyu said, jokingly, “Is this an illusion?”
Nicholas could feel the sun shining on him, his feet on solid ground. He smelled the special air in the open space. He had been to this place three years ago. This was the Great Pyramid of Giza. He had even seen the Sphinx. He looked at the view of the surroundings and the familiar vast sky. It was similar to what he remembered. When the tourists were taking pictures, they noticed Lu Zhiyu and Nicholas and started to scream.
“Oh no, we have been discovered.”
Lu Zhiyu sat on the chair and flicked his fingers again. Both of them appeared on the top of a mountain. As long as Lu Zhiyu had left behind the tactical deployment circle to the dimensional door, he could enter at any time.
Their location at present was a mountain in the Serengeti. At the foot of the mountain was a prairie. As the wind blew past, the fresh air made one feel relaxed. Lu Zhiyu looked at Nicholas, seeing that he was still in a daze.
“Don’t you like it? How about this?”
They appeared in a blue world. The sky and sea were in a line. As the wind blew, the waters rippled on the surface of the deep sea, flowing toward a faraway place. There was total silence, and it made one feel calm.
Both of them were sitting on their chairs, floating on the sea. However, it did not seem like there was water under their feet. They felt as though a solid object was supporting them. At that moment in time, it seemed that there was only the two of them in the entire world.
Lu Zhiyu stood up and stepped on the surface of the sea. He looked down and saw his own reflection in the water. “The earth is a beautiful place, isn’t it, Nicholas Debye?”
Nicholas recovered from his surprise and said excitedly to Lu Zhiyu, “Who…who…are you? How did you do it?”
Lu Zhiyu disappeared into thin air, then reappeared behind the sofa chair that Nicholas was sitting on and said, “This is just a simple transmission technique. Are you curious?”
Nicholas stood up excitedly and said, “Of course. I am very curious. I find it unbelievable, and I cannot understand how you manage to do it.”
Nicholas stood on the surface of the water, realizing immediately that he did not sink. He put his fingers into the water to confirm that it was indeed the sea. He could even see Lu Zhiyu’s reflection in the water.
Both of them were facing each other, as Lu Zhiyu said, “This world does not consist solely of mankind. You have already known this, haven’t you?”
“You can say that we are astral businessmen. We shuttle between the universe and the dimensional place, and trade in the different worlds. A few months ago, our starship crashed onto the moon. We are now looking for a way to repair that starship.”
Upon hearing this, Nicholas suddenly came to a realization, before inquiring of Lu Zhiyu, “Recently, the world went into total darkness. Was it caused by you? You are so powerful. How did you do it?”
That incident caused an uproar all around the world. Many had attributed it to God switching off the lights. Many scientists and the science fanatics had studied the incident from different angles. This had been a hot topic until now. Needless to say, Nicholas knew of it. Lu Zhiyu nodded, not feeling the need to explain any further.
At this moment, both of them had returned to the office in The Shard. Lu Zhiyu disappeared into thin air, reappearing in front of the bar. After looking around, he took out a bottle of brandy, then appeared back in his seat. He then poured the brandy into two glasses.
“We are looking for partners. What do you think, Mr. Nicholas Debye? Are you interested?”
Although Nicholas was a great fan of the occult, he was no longer a young man. However, he was still adventurous and energetic. He was totally different from the businessman that Lu Zhiyu had first thought he was. He was crazy, yet sensible. He asked, “What will I gain from it?”
